In the last of my mini-series on the works of Damien Hirst I am featuring his 'pill cabinets'. Each life-sized pill was cast in bronze and hand-painted by his studio workers. The first one shown here, 'Lullaby Spring' had 6,136 pills in it and sold at auction in 2007 for £9.65 million.
That kind of rules me out from buying one but I do like them.
'Six Pills'
'The Void'
Hirst also produced a series of limited edition jewelery featuring pills and tablets: cufflinks, silver bracelets (£15000), gold bracelets (£2500). No, I haven't got any of these either.
This is such an interesting story at it gives in-depth information to the reader as well. Good thing you have it shared. mdma
